Ga. Bank sues former NBA star Julius Erving

Wednesday

ATLANTA — A bank is suing former pro basketball star Julius Erving, claiming he owes more than $200,000.

Georgia Primary Bank filed the lawsuit in Fulton Superior Court on Oct. 18 against the 61-year-old Erving and his corporation, The Erving Group Inc. of Atlanta.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/rYivYx ) the lawsuit says Erving’s company was given a $1 million line of credit in April 2009, which was due the following April. It says a balance of $205,277.84 has not been paid.

Erving, better known as Dr. J, purchased the Heritage Golf Club in suburban Atlanta in 2006. The club went into foreclosure last year.

Erving was a member of the NBA champion 1983 Philadelphia 76ers and earlier won two ABA titles. The newspaper’s calls to Erving’s attorneys were not immediately returned.
